The Chant Of Jimmie Blacksmith

Starring: Tommy Lewis, Freddy Reynolds, Ray Barrett, et al.

Product Description

The highly explosive and true story of Jimmie (Tommy Lewis) a young Australian half-cast Aborigine who is torn between his true Aboriginal roots and an impulsion to integrate himself into White Colonial society. As Jimmie grows into a hard working young man, he consistently finds himself flagrantly cheated and suppressed by his white employers, forcing him to some seek relief in love, which he finds in a white woman he marries under duress. However, as the pressure builds, Jimmie explodes, resulting in one of the darkest, most violent endings in movie history. Directed by Fred Schepisi (Roxanne, The Russia House, Six degrees of Separation) and based the book by Thomas Keneally (author of Schindler s List). Extras include Documentary on Tommy Lewis (The World According to Tom) & The Making of The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith.
